Let me know how you feel after adjustments...?? Bet you will love it..

On the way to collect my vehicle. The front is already slightly less than a finger so will leave it unchanged. For the rear I have requested to lower it from 2 fingers to 1since I prefer to have the rear a bit higher than the front. Have tuned up rebound by 2 and leave compression unchanged as per hung's advice. Will let you know how it goes.

Have been struggling between 3d and Hamann front lip on my OEM bumper. Will probably go for 3d.

3D is the way the go bro. But check the height for the SE 3D lip. From my visual comparison, it has more height and protrudes more than the M sport one.

Should be way different by adjust the rebound by 2.

Waiting for your report...

I like 3D more between the two, but still haven't seen any haman one with SG body color, not CF. No intention for M front bumper?

No plan for M sport for now as I think the 3d front slip is already very nice:-). And the delivery lead time for 3d is much shorter. Installation is supposed to be easier too. Above all, need to save bullets for the Super Sprint:-)

Quite satisfied with the new KW setting though TW didn't drop the rear as low as I expected. And the front seems to be a bit higher after the rear drop....

Drove from Hunghom to Chaiwan then Wanchai, finally Shatin. Driving experience improved a lot. Obvious difference in sharp corners, very stable, accurate and minimal body roll. Like other bro mentioned, turning in 100km/hr now is like 40-50km/hr. Above all, ride comfort remains!

AsiaKid · 08-11-2011, 09:49 AM

i really like those wheels.

on another note, my KW gets installed monday morning. Reading about the different settings is making me think twice about whether I should change the settings from stock.

Hehe the 1finger gap sounds good

RR80 · 08-11-2011, 10:44 AM

What color did you ended up with your wheels?

Have you ordered the 3d lip for OE yet? How much you get quoted?

Ya, glad you like it. The car is now stable alot no doubt, finally you can feel the V3. Btw, you tuned up by 1 or 2?

I tried +1 for front and +2 for rear last week, you can easily feel the rear is more stable, but too stiff for me at this stage. But most likely I will adjust to +2 few months later..

Slightly more than $10k including paint work. Also got a quot for Super Sprint quad exhaust at $20k. Have ordered both. Also a matte black grill.

Tuned up rebound by +2 and +3 for front and rear espectively. Compression unchanged. Quite satisfied now. Except on those really rough service, ride quality is quite comfortable. At least my wife didn't complain at all:-)

AsiaKid · 08-13-2011, 04:18 AM

Arch shud have mentioned I might sell myr matte black grill

dunno. If I like it

AsiaKid · 08-13-2011, 05:10 AM

Oh wait, mine is gloss black

Nevermind

thinking if i should do a black trim if i keep this color scheme

Random note. Think i saw ICIC in CWB

haha in front of my building actually

Prices about right. Congrats.

Note about matte black grills. They don't fit as well as the OE or OE gloss black grills. Could be easily detached from outside by pulling. And you see the gaps not as fitted too.

your graphite gary should be difficult to spot the difference from black. space gray with black lip will look great.

cwong · 08-13-2011, 06:10 AM

Really? Thanks for the note. Then I better check with Z when I get there next week.

AsiaKid · 08-13-2011, 11:59 AM

Just updating you guys

might might might trade in mine for a 535i. We briefly talked price, but if it hovers at about 100 then will probably switch

Won't be surprised, as you drove YL to TM @ 180k

Actually there is, if not at all, little difference 0-96k, but the extract 50 ps does help you haul to 180k rapidly

Keep track on the setting. As I drove mine yesterday, feel like it is getting softer after 2 weeks. Will adjust it again very soon.

That's not me, haven't been to CWB in the last 2-3 days. Very similar slammed SG color?

AsiaKid · 08-13-2011, 10:27 PM

not sure if SG color..was slammed with brushed rims (i can tell from the reflection as it was moving), could be the silver color..but i thought it was you.Luckily it wasnt stopped, maybe i would have knocked on the window and say "Hey I am AsiaKid" and then the eprson will think? !)(#*)(!*@

Agreed with Jacky, not a gigantic difference between the 528 and 535. You better make up your mind if you wanna trade in. Otherwise you might have to trade in your 535 after awhile.

Took a spin in my friend's 997 CS2 the other day. Really nice. May be you should consider this.
